Now that the weather is improving, I'm trying to get a feel for if folk would be likely to pay for a weekend of sea kayaking up on Anglesey with the potential (obviously weather dependent and dependent on your ability). If so what would the average, tight climber consider a reasonable rate for two days (one day coaching to try and ensure that you're capable of paddling the trip, second day guiding under Gogarth, Rhoscolyn, subject to weather and sea state).

Any thoughts/opinions gratefully received.

Cheers,
Pete

In reply to Anglesey Pete: I'd go climbing Pete, but perhaps £200 per head.

In reply to Anglesey Pete:

Depends on ratios pete.

If I was having a 1:1 with you Id expect to pay 150-160 per day.

If part of a small group maybe 80-100 per day.

Cheers

In reply to Anglesey Pete: Thanks for the input fellas.

Would this appeal to anyone else?

In reply to Anglesey Pete:

Plas y Brenin charge an arm and a leg for their coaching courses but I know plenty of paddlers who have used them in their early careers.
Why not relate your charges to income ? £100.00 for well paid Yuppy paddlers to £30.00 for UB 40 paddlers ?

The cheap option is joining a club for £10.00 and then tag along their regular trips as I did. 50% of the members have instructors qualifications and some are members of the well ard north west paddlers so you're in good hands !
